Question: Everybody is talking about this transit, Pluto in Capricorn, to be a very difficult time for the government. Do you see it the way most people do? How long is the duration of this transit going to be? Is there a way out? -J.R. private student
Answer: Wow, this is a very tall order. My first thought is to say, if you are not working for the government, you are in a much better situation than those who are. I personally believe that during this trying time, those who are spiritually mature enough to understand the levels of these “extreme and rapid changes” will ride it out. Others will continue to find someone to blame and be outraged about, and the rest will choose to wear their rose-colored glasses. Pluto moves so slowly, it stays in the sign of Capricorn until 2023. I’d say, the only way out is to take a personal inventory, be wary of the “abuses and the excesses”, and keep only the necessities, for now. This is no time for pretenses and role playing.
After a few years of self-imposed isolation from conducting a full “Women Circle”, yesterday was a beautiful day for a comeback. Nancy and Perry, two sisters of the path who had been with the original Maidens’ Web group, helped tremendously to complete the intention sent out for the Vernal Equinox – New Beginnings. Thank you, Perry and Nancy! I also want to thank Jackie, of La Luna Madre for sponsoring the event and the rest of the fourteen gorgeous women who made the Circle complete with joy, music and camaraderie.
Keep Sharing the Light!
Hi Marcelina,
Question: I have my Moon in the fourth house. According to the astrology books I read it makes me very emotional. Since I was a little girl I felt like I can easily feel another person’s feelings but I kept it to myself. What else would you add about this moon’s placement? - BJ of Riverside
Answer: The Moon represents the emotions, the subconscious and the instinctive behavior – She rules the fourth house thus the emotions dominate the individual’s life. One can become very receptive to other people’s emotions and need to exercise discernment. The moon in the fourth house indicates a strong parental influence, a love of home and a desire to insulate the self in it. In horary astrology, the fourth house is also called the house of ending or the end of the matter.
Hi Marcelina,
Question: I noticed the huge hands of the Emperor card. In his left hand he holds the globe and on the right is the Ankh. What is the Ankh? Would you give me your own interpretation of the symbols? -Diane, Tarot Aspirant
Answer: The Ankh is an Ancient Egyptian symbol of life or “Cross of Life”. Corresponding to the first zodiac sign Aries, the Emperor card signifies one with power and control (the huge hands) that he alone has obtained or made of himself – he is authority. The ankh and the globe symbolize the universal law and order -the Ankh as the spiritual law, the Globe as the order we must obey, or confront in the physical world.

Early this morning, I received two emails that already made my day. One came from Jackie, a beautiful lady sponsoring my workshop on March 21st at her home. She notified me of payments on Paypal. What a great way to start the day!
Another one is from Rhona Jordan, confirming of her attending the ongoing divination class on March 18th.. And, here is the big news …on Saturday, March 7, 2009, Rhona was presented with “The Humanitarian Of The Year Award” at the International Hypnosis Federation Conference in San Pedro, California. The award honored her volunteer work for the Trauma Intervention Program and was presented at the banquet of 150 hypnotist. Congratulations, Rhona!
I just printed today’s chart – the Moon is in Cancer smacked right in the first house. Does it mean that everybody is feeling emotionally needy today? Venus in Aries just moved into retograde motion at 9:18 a.m. Ouch!! I checked myself… being Aries, how do I feel?
So far, I am feeling… I had to take Benadryl this morning, allergy symptom. I did not start to take any kind of medications until last year. I guess it has something to do with my hair turning blonde. J As I remember, when I first visited the doctor last year, she asked me as to when the last time I had a mammogram and those other women “things” check up. I said, this would be my first time – she almost fell off the chair!
Back to feeling Venus in Aries, I have to remind John this morning to order the Romancing the 70’s CD Collection from Time Life. If it doesn’t sound Venusian to you, I don’t know what is. Thank God for having that Pisces rising in me – John needs it! J
Speaking of Venusian, I received an email from a gracious lady asking me to hold a workshop at her place in June- I am honored! She has big plans, ladies! She’s bringing women healers of all ages and traditions, together. I salute her! Sorry, I can’t mention the rest of the plans here – not yet…
Saturn-Uranus Opposition class yesterday with the intermediate students came out to be more about the new presidency’s stimulus plan. Also, I now have the 3rd correct? birth certificate info of our president. You see, I have gone to astrology sites and they all claim to have the correct one. Interestingly enough, everytime I get a new one, the chart looks better and better, hmmm…
Hi Marcelina, I am typing my notes from the previous class and have a couple questions.
1) “Do not underestimate the Queen of Swords because of Libra.” Could you elaborate a little on this?
2) You characterized in class the physical traits of Cups(“usually have light hair blue eyes”), Wands (sandy or red hair, sometimes dark brown eyes) and Pentacles (dark-skinned, hard-working, patient, responsible), but not Swords. What are Swords traits? -Lise K. of Laguna Beach
Answer:
1) The Queen of Swords carries the Air element, strong-willed, individualist and can be critical. Found in the house of Libra, it can indicate separation or divorce.
2) The physical traits are usually medium–brown hair with light eyes.
